General Information

For exceptional high performance potential and outstanding driving dynamics, the new 911 Turbo features the very best technologies as standard in addition to reduced vehicle weight. The enhancements compared with the previous model include features such as bi-turbocharging with variable turbine geometry (VTG), the active all-wheel drive system Porsche Traction Management (PTM) and the variable damper system Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).

Significant reduction in fuel consumption and exhaust emissions:
- Fuel consumption reduced by up to 16%, depending on model
- CO2 emissions reduced by up to 18%, depending on model







Apart from an increase in the displacement of the completely new engine generation from 3.6 l to 3.8 l, these engines are above all characterized by the introduction of direct fuel injection (DFI), integrated dry-sump lubrication including an electronically demand-controlled oil pump and an expansion intake manifold. The basic engine has been completely newly developed.

Development Objectives:
- Increase in power and torque over the entire engine speed range
- Reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions
- Improved responsiveness
- Extended usable engine rpm range
- Reduced system weight to increase performance

Main features of the engine:
- Newly-developed, flat-six engine, 3.8 l displacement
- Changeover from intake manifold injection to direct fuel injection DFI
- Expansion intake manifold
- VarioCam Plus intake camshaft control and valve lift adjustment
- Turbocharging with variable turbine geometry (VTG) and exhaust temperature control
- Individual ignition coils with integral drivers
- On-board diagnosis (OBD II)

New features and enhancements compared with previous 997 Turbo:
- Direct fuel injection (DFI) with multi-port injectors
- Increased maximum engine speed from 6750 rpm to 7000 rpm
- Overboost function with higher maximum torque (in combination with the optional Sport Chrono Package Turbo)
- Cylinder heads with tumble intake ports
- Expansion intake manifold
- Charge air cooler with lower pressure losses and better back-cooling
- Enhanced exhaust system with weight-reduced rear muffler and larger tailpipes

The introduction of direct fuel injection (DFI) is another milestone in the development of the new 911 Turbo. With even more efficient use of energy and further improvements such as the reduction in vehicle weight and the introduction of the Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), fuel consumption has been reduced by up to 16 % compared with the predecessor, depending on the specific model, while CO2 emissions have been reduced by up to 18 %.

The new 911 Turbo complies with stringent emissions standards, e.g. EU5 in the EU markets and LEV II/LEV in the USA, thanks to advanced exhaust technology.

The maximum power output of the new 911 Turbo has been increased by 20 hp (15 kW) to 500 hp (368 kW) and the maximum torque by 30 Nm to 650 Nm. In combination with the Sport Chrono Package Turbo, the maximum torque can be increased for a limited time (10 sec) by 50 Nm to a maximum of 700 Nm.
